My first bag making tutorial

Have been made some bags but never been given any tutorial on it makes me think about 2 things. First of all, how generous people who ever made this kind of tutorial. Second of all, what a little time that I have to make all these bags compares to many experts out there.

Finally here it is, my first 'share' how to make a bag. But hold on, I don't even have a name for this bag. I'll name it at the ending part I supposed, so keep following, sit back, get your tools, and maybe a cup of coffee, what a good companion you have there:).

Here is the steps to make the bag :
- Making the pattern :

- Cut the pieces and lining

- Making the embroidery using 0.5cm silk ribbon on white satin fabric (on the top of parts above)
- Put everything together (the pieces and lining), also the fold-up white and flowered fabric

- Making the handles
- Sew the zipper into the bag

Now it's time to enjoy your coffee, cause we've done it. Here is the bag 'sitting' on my office chair.

Since I used flower pattern of satin, I think I'll name it Flowerbed bag. You can see the ending result at the bag and shopping categories. Hope you can enjoy and post your bag then link bag to me next time.

You should try this at home : DETOXIFICATION

Detoxification : process of removing harmful substances from your body by only eating and drinking particular things. (Oxford Learner's Pocket Dictionary)

I've never thought to take this detox process my entire life. You know why? I tell you why. First thing, I can't eat without rice. Yeap, I think that's been a habbit for most of Indonesian people to have rice as staple food. Second of all, I don't care much about the vegetables if it served with side dish. So, I can't imagine how would I eat without all of that?

But when my friend explain how he feels after taking the detox process, Ive been thinking maybe the time is come to take the advantage of that detoxification. So, although it's not cheap, I bought it with no regrets and strong will. I think that's a good start:)

Short words, last week I started the plan. Of course I still cook everyday menus for my family, just put some additional vegetables so that I can have them to replace my staple food. First day, honestly been a hard day since we bought my daughter favourite menu 'French Fries' after work. It's my first job at home after got home to coax my daughter to finished her dinner. I forgot to tell you the directions for use 'Organic Botanical Powdered Beverage', maybe you've known that kind of food supplement from other brand. I won't put any advertisement here, don't worry:) haha. But of course you can always ask me if interested.

Next challenge is to continue follwoing 6 days left. I've been felt comfortable with the detox process and all of its requirements. And I've noticed one good side of having detoxification, what I mean is a good 'side effect' of it. My husband puts more attention to me of how I eat and asked me how my body react with that supplement I take. You know something, he's the person that very careful in taking medicine. I think that's why he didn't want to take that detoxification. So, on day #6, the part of those harmful substances inside my body came out with feces (sorry to mention but I think it will be better and useful to know) with about 30 centimeters long.

So, I've been passed that detoxification now, and start to make changes on my daily portion of rice. We'll see about that later. When I look at my face in the mirror (you know something, I only look at it once a day when put my make up on..haha), I think I have brighter color of skin now, a little bit..

Any interest on trying this? Please feel free to ask and leave me comments. Sorry if I mention 'improper' words here. Great day guys:)

No signal

Warning : just read the story from the top and don't look straight to the photos below

It's a ridiculous story about how my husband spend his holiday at home. One day morning when we got 1 day off from our hectic works, my husband wanted to googling to search on something. So at that time he borrowed my Haier cell phone as modem. Actually he can use his own cellphone, but the rate is quite expensive compare to mine, well you know something Indonesian rate for cell phone provider is higher compare to other south east asia countries..That's so oppressived!

Few seconds was just fine, but after that...my cell phone showed..'no signal' and keep searching. You know, in this case expensive equals to quality.:) haha, you get what you pay, right?

So after that, what he trying to do is to keep the signal there so that enough for connection. What do you do if you were him? haha, i'll show you now...

Take a good closer look at picture above, have you found anything 'odd'?

Yeap, he moved one big flowerpot at the front of our house inside the livingroom, than bind that cell phone with an elastic hair pin. Of course it works, that's for sure.

Nothing's is wrong for me, except...the bill:) haha.

I think we forgot that cheap X minutes = not cheap

Well...still can't stand not to smile when I remember how he acts:)

Colored Crepe Basket

Here is an order from my little sister in law this last holiday of ascension day of Jesus Christ, may 21th. She asked me to do a little crafty things with basket. She said that the crafty basket will be part of a charity easter party for kids, so I was agree to help her on that.

So I got 3 colored crepe paper: pink, yellow, and green. Previously I bought 3 small (or you can say tiny) baskets on a craft store here near my house. So, start from morning until afternoon I made my self (and my daughter) busy that day. She always loved pink color so she asked me to give her a long part of that colored crepe paper.

Here the result, hope can cheer up the party.
